I am in the process of running all of my instrument lights into a dimmer. What is the common or best way to reduce about 6 or 8 wire into the one wire that will connect to the dimmer? A couple of butt connectors staggered down the bundle?

See:

It's never "incorrect" to simply solder the wires into a common joint
and cover with heatshrink. Just joints tied into wire bundles are
very long lived in light aircraft. But if you're looking for a craftsman
of the year award, the judges will no doubt bring a lot of baggage
from the TC and Mil-Spec worlds. The use of classier tools and materials
will get you some points.

The only craftmen in my shop are the wrenches in my tool box.
